Movement as Medicine: Thailand Embraces Exercise for Cancer Prevention and Survivorship
New research reinforces that regular physical activity can reduce cancer risk, bolster treatment effectiveness, and improve quality of life for survivors. For Thai readers—whether patients, caregivers, or prevention-minded individuals—these findings are reshaping medical advice and public health approaches across the Kingdom.
Thai families have long valued activity for “สุขภาพดี” (good health), but cancer has often been seen as a domain where rest is prudent. Emerging global and local studies challenge this view. In insights shared by cancer rehabilitation specialists, exercise helps survivors manage side effects, regulate hormones, lower inflammation, and strengthen immunity—contributing to better outcomes and longer, healthier lives.
